General Installation Information - Siemens LDS 6 Operating Instructions Manual

Heat Safety
Some metal parts and piping placed near the optics housings are at elevated temperatures. The
reason is high temperature purging - either from steam or from air.
The optics housings are designed for work at elevated temperatures, particularly when
a purging system is in operation. Even after operation these parts cool off slowly.
For any work around these optics housings be sure to wear protective gloves.
If this rule is not followed serious burns of the unprotected skin may happen.
Pressure Safety
The optics housing is tested at a pressure of 600 kPa. This pressure value should not be exceeded
in operational conditions.
Should pressures higher than 600 kPa occur in the process, this can lead to destruction of
the optics housings and their environment. In worst case process media may break free
and pollute the environment.
Avoid under any circumstances process pressures higher than 600 kPa.
If this rule is not followed, death, injuries and/or damage to property and environment can
occur.
Liability
Following commissioning, the total responsibility is with the owner.

General installation information

Mounting Conditions
The central unit LDS 6 should be placed on a location which is dust-free and as free as possible
from vibrations. Also ensure that the unit is not exposed to direct solar radiation. If these
conditions can't be fulfilled the LDS 6 must be installed in a cabinet with controlled environment.
Note
As condensing is normally a problem when moving the device from outside to inside a building
it is recommended that the device should be adapted to room climate for a couple of hours
before starting it.
The back of the unit must be freely accessible. There should be at least 10 cm (4 ") of free space
behind the LDS 6 to accommodate the signal and hybrid cables. To meet the safety requirements
